A judge has recently decided not to involve rapper Drake in the murder trial of XXXTentacion. The decision was made after the defense team requested that Drake be subpoenaed to testify about an altercation between him and the late rapper. The defense believed that Drake's testimony might provide insight into the victim's state of mind before the incident. However, the judge determined that Drake's involvement in the case was not relevant, stating that there was no indication of a connection between Drake and the murder.
XXXTentacion, a rising young rapper, was killed in June 2018 during a robbery at a motorcycle dealership. Four men have been accused and are currently facing trial in connection with the murder. The defense team hoped to establish a motive for the killing, suggesting that XXXTentacion's altercation with Drake might have influenced the events leading to his death.
Despite the defense's argument that Drake's testimony could shed light on XXXTentacion's mental state, the judge ultimately decided against involving the rapper in the trial.
While Drake may have been involved in a dispute with the victim, the court found no evidence linking him to the murder. Therefore, it was deemed unnecessary to complicate the trial by involving a high-profile celebrity who had no direct connection to the case.
The decision stands as a reminder that, even in high-profile cases, the court will only focus on evidence and testimony that is deemed relevant to the proceedings.
